My approach

DESIGN THINKING METHODOLOGY

Through interviews, user tests, observation, contextual study, and other creative research methods, I help uncover what people really need, think and care about.


COMMUNITY-FIRST PRINCIPLES

I combine approaches like participatory design, asset-based community development, and appreciative inquiry to collaboratively explore how to better serve more people in reaching their goals. - blended approach


TRAUMA-INFORMED PRACTICES

I create safe, compassionate spaces that honor different lived experiences and prioritize well-being in all interactions.


INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP FACILITATION

I lead dynamic, hands-on sessions that spark ideas, foster collaboration, and turn big concepts into action.


BILINGUAL ENGLISH AND SPANISH SERVICES

 I work seamlessly across English and Spanish, ensuring clear communication and cultural nuance in everything I do.
